The Terps and North Carolina matchup very well. The Terps powerful offense against the TarHeels' stingy defense is the key. But North Carolina's offense is improved and three matchups will likely decide this matchup.
Caitlyn McFadden vs Bosica
Pair of dynamic midfielders who play on both ends of the field. Both contribute to the defensive efforts, transition and offensive scoring attack.
Becky Lynch vs Karri Ellen Johnson
This is a battle of Super Sophs. Johnson has 35 goals and leads the Terps with 45 points. Meanwhile Lynch is second on the TarHeels with 24 goals and leads the team with 15 assists.
Terps offense vs Ripley
This is the most important matchup if the Terps are to win. They cannot pose predictable shots and really place the ball to get it past the Nation's best goal keeper. Ripley has the fewest goals-allowed this season and can shut down opposing offenses and was a major key to the UNC upset last season. The Terps have more than enough fire power to put up points against UNC, they did in the regular season matchup last year when they put up 13 goals.
